• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more for a spicier sauce

• 1/2 cup sour cream :::

:::instructions

1. Add the pickled jalapeno slices along with some of the liquid to a blender. Blend until completely smooth. It should be smooth and not chunky.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cayenne powder, and salt. Stir until smooth and combined.
3. Add 3-7 tablespoons of the blended jalapeno puree to the bowl and mix it in. Add more to taste/consistency.
4. Move to an airtight container and wait at least an hour for the flavors to develop. It will get more pungent the longer you leave it. Will keep for around a week in the fridge. :::
